The Confederacy of CSX-89 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed population of 1.07 billion CSX-89ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong CSX-89ian economy, worth 53.8 trillion takas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,325 takas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Motorway service stations often have a higher population than the hinterland villages that the roads lead to, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, and stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. CSX-89's national animal is the manatee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

CSX-89 is ranked 118,498^th in the world and 6,216^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 76.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
